House of the Devil Lumiere Theatre	Daily from Fri., November 20 until Fri., November 27	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Film
The Devil, apparently, lives in an out-of-the-way gingerbread Victorian, just past the cemetery, where college sophomore Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) is lured for overnight housesitting by an elegant, forbidding couple (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov, both queerly over-intimate). Though its poster... More >>

William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe Opera Plaza Cinema	Daily from Fri., November 20 until Thu., November 26	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Film
Other than a few tasty tidbits, like the fact that he wrote Joseph McCarthy's will while still a young family attorney, there’s not much fresh news about William Kunstler in this documentary. Plodding diligently through the irascible lefty lawyer's career, Disturbing the Universe travels... More >>

Victory Day Lumiere Theatre	Daily	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Film Politics
We love a good psycho-thriller gun movie: Victory Day has the added value of being a revenge fantasy. Writer/director/star Sean Ramsay plays photojournalist Sam Cassels, who works in the Soviet Union and sees bad stuff happen. He comes home, gets a job at a magazine, and stumbles on a chance to...

Japandroids Rickshaw Stop	Sun., November 29, 7:00pm	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Music
Some bands kick up so much racket, you feel like your hair is being whipped by a gale-force wind. Vancouver's Japandroids, a guitar-drums duo going strong after a couple of tentative EP releases, manages that sensation both figuratively and literally. Guitarist Brian King, who splits his signal... More >>

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band Rickshaw Stop	Wed., December 2, 8:00pm	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Music
Boasting a drummer in his early teens and the unusual name he dreamed up, Seattle five-piece Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band has enough quirks to reference most of indie rock. The band does sweeping hugeness, yelped vocals, a few nonsense refrains (“Albatross, Albatross, Albatross”),... More >>

Oh My God? Lumiere Theatre	Daily from Fri., November 27 until Thu., December 3	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Film Religion & Spirituality
Peter Rodger's documentary in which, as he says in the trailer, "I decided to go 'round the world and ask people what they think." He asks children, nuns, a princess, Hugh Jackman, and a host of picturesquely wrinkled religious dudes. Gorgeous cinematography provides visuals for the mystery... More >>

Every year, Glide Memorial United Methodist Church needs hundreds of volunteers to help serve thousands of meals throughout the holiday season. Think they have trouble filling the slots? They don't.
